I remember sitting in chemistry class, overwhelmed by the table of elements (note: I am not a science geek). But this? This would have at least made me sit up and pay attention! The University of ...
Elements heavier than uranium don’t exist naturally on Earth. Researchers make these massive elements at the end of the periodic table by smashing existing atoms together in particle accelerators.
ACS Publications journals Editors are joining in the IYPT celebrations with a series of videos exploring their relationship with the table. Is the periodic table hanging in your lab, classroom, or ...

(via PBS Eons) Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love the idea of fictional elements with miraculous properties that science ...
It’s not every day an element gets added to the periodic table. The last time it happened was 2016, when four new elements became official. For these elements, reaching the table was an epic quest ...
image: Some chemists might see the periodic table of elements as a holy testament to the power of science. However, when it first debuted, it was a different kind of holey, and its journey to ...
In 1871, Dimitri Mendeleev's periodic table was presented to the world, but missing many of the 118 elements leaving place-holders for those yet to be discovered. Each element added has a unique story ...
We explore if it's really possible that new elements exist beyond the periodic table. Adamantium, bolognium, dilithium. Element Zero, Kryptonite. Mythril, Netherite, Orichalcum, Unobtanium. We love ...
